[edit] About using edit summaries

Hi! Please read the information below to learn about using edit summaries. Thanks and welcome to Wikipedia! --Plek 15:15, 9 Jan 2005 (UTC)

When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labelled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:

The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

When you leave the edit summary blank, some of your edits could be mistaken for vandalism and may be reverted, so please always briefly summarize your edits, especially when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you.

[edit] Quotation marks

I have replied to your comment on Talk:F-14 Tomcat. Cheers. Noisy | Talk 14:38, Jan 18, 2005 (UTC)

Note to self: Check Astronautix.com for upgrade info on *ALL* Soviet/Russian SAM systems and make sure all pages have appropriate revision information and references. Merge ZSU-23-4 and ZSU-23-4 Shilka

[edit] stealth edits

Hi Nvinen, I replied on my talk page Dan100 20:07, Jan 27, 2005 (UTC)

BTW you might want to look at air-to-air missile. No-one had written any text on that page until I did yesterday, and my work almost certainly needs copyediting and correcting! Dan100 20:13, Jan 27, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] ELINT

Why did you remove the sentence I added to ELINT which relates it to stealth technology? I think it's at least as relevant as the world war 2 example you put in instead. Nvinen 04:52, 1 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Absolutly. I did not know that I had until you pointed it out! It was a mistake! Pleased accept my apologies. Philip Baird Shearer 09:33, 1 Feb 2005 (UTC)

[edit] flame throwing tanks

I know of many world war II tanks that had large flame throwers. DO you know of any post-world war II tanks tha have had them? --AlainV 19:32, 12 Feb 2005 (UTC)

[edit] SA-19

Hi! I have checked SA-1, SA-2, ... SA-19. I added and corrected Russian names of SAM. There are problem in SA-19 Grisom. It's not "Pantsyr S-1", it's "Tunguska" (see links in the talk page and history of the page).

You name SA-3 Goa as Isayev S-125 but in Russian it's officially simple S-125 (in cyrillic: С-125). Also about SA-4 Ganef, SA-5 Gammon etc.

Sorry for my English :( --.:Ajvol:. 00:30, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Thanks, I read somewhere that Isayev designed the S-125 system. At least for western systems, they are typically known by the main developer. Do you know who was responsible for its design?

That's OK, your English is a lot better than my Russian :) I hope if you have any knowledge of any of these systems or come across something you will also help with some facts. I do as much research as I can but a lot of this information is guessed and inconsistent. Anything you can find out would be great :)

[edit] DU

Hi, thanks for your feedback and for chosing to discuss matters rather than just edit war. Very refreshing! I've removed my incorrect reasoning about kinetic energy and restored the paragraph about the better ballistics of DU projectiles over other materials. I've also altered the section to more clearly highlight DU's other advantages over, say, tungsten, including easier of production. Dan100 19:42, Mar 8, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Military history of the Soviet Union

I do not know you at all, so I don't know if there are other reasons for you wanting to leave Wikipedia, but you grossly misunderstood the purpose of my edit on Soviet military history. Please see the Talk page. Thank you. Ryan Anderson 02:08, 11 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Gravity bombs

I am an American, and in American English the word is "fuse" not "fuze".

[edit] Repute

The quote on User page: For every book or pilot quote you can make stating one thing, the idea you support, you can often find as many that repute it.

Do you mean dispute or refute? I'm reading this quote to mean "there are as many that [-regard- or -consider-] it," and this seems nonsensical. Mr. Billion 07:20, 10 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Image to Wikipedia Commons?

Hi,

Thanks for your spider picture. It would be great if you could upload it to Wikipedia Commons. That way people in all language versions of Wikipedia could use it without any fuss.

Thanks. P0M 01:38, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
